The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Create a map based on random words

(I couldn't add a poll in the original thread, so if the mod's could delete the other without a poll that would be great )

What's up guys. This is my first suggestion, so be kind ahha
Well one of the things I most like is the power of Randomization. Based on that, my suggestion for a next challenge is to go to this site Random Noun Generator and generate, let's say 5, or 10 words, chose let's say, 3 or 5 nouns, and create a map that got all of these words as a central element.
Example:
1 Anethesiologist
2 Cellar
3 Craftsman
4 Diving
5 Drill
6 Honey
7 Romania
8 Wednesday

So lot's o random elements here, let's say I wanna do a Battle Map in a Cellar (2), with Romanian archtecture and elements (7), where a Craftsman (3) has to fight some enemies using a Drill (5).
Silly right? But hey, that's the fun in randomness! No all the elements have to be in the map, maybe a name could come up and the title might be "Ronald's Worst Wednesday"?
it can be Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives or even the mix of them!
So here are the sites I found that we could use:Adjective Generator - Randomly Generate Hundreds of Adjectives (ADJECTIVES)Random Noun Generator (NOUNS)Verb Generator - Randomly Generate Verbs (VERBS)

ps: I know some time ago we had a challenge using the words, Rock, Wind and 8 (I don't know the words for sure). It was fun, since it gave a common ground, but with was very limited in some ways, here the participant could randomize as long as he wanted until he found the perfect (for him) combination of words!
